boring day all day today, until 7pm came along. my brother wanted to go to old navy to get some shorts, so i took him. it was a bit past 7 when we decided we both didn't want to go home so soon. i dropped off my brother at the arcade and paid a visit to jack. (i kinda lost my sense of direction and it took me 20 mins to get to his house =_=) around 8 i was on my way to pick up my brother and my mom called the cell phone i was carrying around.

::ring ring ring ring::
me: ::thinking "crap, mom's gunna scream at me for being out so late on a weekday..." picks up phone:: hello?
mom: mirae?
me: yeah
mom: where are you?
me: we're on our way home~
mom: oh, ok.
me: ok, bye~
mom: oh wait, mirae!
me: huh??
mom: be careful, k?
me: ...;; ok. bye mom.

Monday, April 23, 2001 10:24 p.m.
did a lot of driving today; went with brother to safeway, mitsuwa, friend's house, premium pet, noah's bagels, la boulangerie (or something like that) and then home. bro bought me a big bottle of tea~ ^_^ got some strawberries to dip in choco, too! ^_^

tehe~ this weekend i might go to a friend's house to play the new video games chris got in japan! XD but if it's on saturday, i gotta leave at 3 for a few hours to do olivia's hair for prom. tehe~ my school's having junior prom on saturday~ i made heidi promise to save me a picture. ^_^

Monday, April 23, 2001 04:00 p.m.
::fuaaaaa:: typical day today. i talked with kazu-chan after school in the library about college and summer school and classes, and mai was sitting between us listening, "it's really interesting listening to you guys talk." ^^; after a lot of talking, mai went home, and kazu-chan gave me a ride. XD he's sooo nice! so yeah, i've changed my mind to going to de anza for summer school. kazu-chan said he wants to take an art class with me, which is pretty cool~ ^_^ it'll make class more fun~

my stomach's gunna digest itself if i don't get something to eat. sore ja!

Sunday, April 22, 2001 04:58 p.m.
yaho~ ok, went car shopping today and i really like the honda civic LX. ^_^ i love the way it drives, and the silver's really nice, too. i like. i like. happy day. my parents gotta get my insurance...wait a sec...O_O;; i've been driving around without insurance all this time... HOW SMART IS THAT?! =_=++ ok, well, that's ok. i'm still alive and well. but yeah, gotta get the insurance, and then i get my car by the end of the week! that means FREEDOM!!

on the side, not much has happened. i colored in the pic of the bloody girl i drew yesterday by CG, and it WAS really nice until i saved it as a JPG file without all the layers visible!!! =_=++ if you do CG, you'll know what i mean. but yeah... i had to color the blood in all over again, and it was HARD!! ;_; took me the whole night to get it to my satisfaction, and even now it's not good! ::sob:: why's blood gotta be so hard to draw??? i AM aware that i need to fix the thing up big time. i gotta refine the blood and add a background. i'm contemplating on whether i should leave the dress white or not.

Saturday, April 21, 2001 01:36p.m.
woke up at 11 today and called kaijuu and listened for about half an hour as she tried to convince her parents to let me go over. they finally did. =_=; i'm not even gunna go into about how annoyed i was at their anal-ness about her having to study all the time. so yes, i turns out that i'll be going to her house from 4-9, and it will be fun~ ^_^ i also scanned in the bloody pic i drew last night. i still need to learn how to draw splattered blood... ;_;

Friday, April 20, 2001 09:29 p.m.
::BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPP!!!! BEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPP!!!!:: my alarm went off at 7:55am. i was just lying there half asleep till about 8:15ish, and i'm like... i should give jack his wake up call. yep, he was still sleeping. and verrrryyy groggy. but thas ok~ he was in a pretty good mood considering it was morning. ^_^ then i went to school, had lunch in a classroom since it was cold and raining and depressing weather. i doodled a few pics, and then the rest of the day dragged on and on... ugh.... math was boring. heidi wasn't there. neither was james. and practically half the class seemed to be ditching, but thas ok.

after school, i tried a million times to call gaki and noone picked up. mike, kevin, and i all went to her house to pick her up, and she was still sleeping when i rang the doorbell. =_=; ::siiiiiigh:: so instead of getting to vallco around 3:30 like we had planned, it turned out to be 4:15. maa, ikka. we played ddr till about 7, went to mitsuwa so gaki could pick up her asuka, and then dropped her and kevin off. then mike took me and jack to the cupertino village to pick up food. jack got me tea~ ^_^ - <3 after we picked up the food, we dropped off jack (btw, jack, why do you have a tarepanda umbrella...??? o_o) and then i was dropped off. made food, now i'm sitting here in front of my comp typing this up while i'm munching on tonkatsu~ <3

tomorrow... i wonder if i should go shoping... but i have no money except a few gift certificates for some stores. hmmmmmm........ doushiyooo... ah well, i'll think about that later~ ^_^ tehe~

another interesting day in math.
::mirae walks into class and sits down. starts drawing::
::sub walks toward her while mirae's thinking 'go away go away go away'::
sub: ::looks at mirae for a bit:: so, are you a friend of heidi's?
mirae: mm hmm...
::heidi walks in:: sub: heidi, is that you're paper over there?
heidi: no.
sub: but it has your name on it.
heidi: it's not mine.
sub: it has your name on it, see? ::starts to bring it over::
heidi: just leave it over there! you're not even the teacher, you wouldn't know what to do with it! leave it there, it's not mine! ::hides behind mirae::
mirae: ::takes paper from teacher and looks at it:: this isn't hers. it's not her handwriting.
sub: but it says her name on it.
mirae: yeah, but it could be some other heidi's.
sub: oh, you mean there are other heidi's here?
mirae: ...++ not in this class, but yes. there ARE other heidi's here.
sub: oh... wow...::leaves::
heidi: ::whispers:: GOD!!!! I HATE HIM!!! HE'S SO ANNOYING!!! WHY WON'T HE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?!?!
::mirae and heidi run outside to vent to tim::

so yes, that was pretty much the only interesting thing that happened today.

Wednesday, April 18, 2001 03:45 p.m.
school was... interesting... to say the least ^^;; especially math class. here's how it went.
english: nothing special. got in as soon as the bell rang, sat down, and realized i was hungry.
history: played a "dot game", which was pretty much a simulation of what happened during the korean war when people were being randomly accused of being a communist. ;;; like pekkle said, "people are stupid is large numbers". how true.
japanese: by this time i was reeeally hungry, and excused my self to "go to the bathroom". i actually went down to the cafeteria to buy my lunch ahead of time, since i didn't want to go off campus and the cafeteria's always friggin crowded during lunch. so i went down, came back, and pretty much dozed off. we're studying weather...
lunch: drew. i actually had my sketch book with me, and ting was watching over my shoulder every now and then, which didn't bother me as much as it usually would have... talk about being numb to people. i listened to ben talking about all this random stuff, which was pretty entertaining, and had the burrito i bought during japanese.
chem: the teacher thought it might be fun to sit me with 2 of the most talkative people in class. they're nice and all... they're just the kinds that tease people a lot and are... kinda perverted. =_=;; so out of 4 people at the table, i'm the only girl, which doesn't make it any better when i draw during class. "hey, draw her naked" "is she gunna have big boobs?" "you never draw naked girls!" "oh, make her ________(insert lewd pose here)" type comments are everyday things now. =_=; the guy sitting next to me USED to be quiet, now he's starting to get influenced a bit by them... IIIIDIOTS!!!
math: i'd say this was the most interesting class of the day. ^_^ the math teacher isn't gunna be here for the rest of the week, so we have a grungy crusty nasty old man that heidi and james just happened to have for summer school and they hate him. so because he knows them, he keeps talking to them, especially james. david knows him, too, i think. so yeah, the whole period, we got to work on our homework for that night, and practically the whole time, the sub's talking to james about himself and it's really stupid! heh... david took james to the far corner of the classroom to work on their math, but the dude's so dense he just follows them there and keeps talking endlessly & asks "james, are you listening?" every other minute or so... heidi and i were working on our math and started feeling sorry for them. had to save them by "asking for help on our math". =_= the stupid guy actually followed james over to us one time, and heidi saved him AGAIN by saying "just james". XD go heidi!! so yeah, the two guys were kinda sobbing to us about how torturous it was to sit through all that. ^_^;

after school, heidi and i went to jamba juice and gas station to fill up her tank. she doesn't like filling the tank by herself, so i went with her ^^;; i swear, she has the most random music on that tape of hers! when she turned on the car, it was in the middle of "yubiwa". then it was "tooi kono machi de". then it was "haruka". then it was "sankutousu". O_O; aanyway.... so yeah... that was my day. interesting, no?

Tuesday, April 17, 2001 08:55 p.m.
KYAHAHAHAHAA!! i just had the most ridiculous idea of DRIVING down to AX2001!! XD HAHAHAHA!!! why is it so ridiculous, you say? there are plenty of reasons! 1) even though i'll have my car, doesn't mean i'll be able to drive gaki and kaijuu with me since i won't have had my license for 6 months. gaki wouldn't be able to make it with us anyway =_= trip to mexico, na~ 2) it's gunna take about 5-6 hours to get there, assuming that i'll speed most of the way, and i reeeeeally don't like car rides that last more than 4 hours. 3)i'll be DRIVING. imagine what could happen if i have to DRIVE for MORE than 4 hours! O_O i'd go crazy!! 4) the chances of my getting lost are pretty good. 5) if we wanted to make it there in the afternoon, we'd have to leave pretty friggin early in the morning. 6) mirae DRIVING in the MORNING is prolly not a good idea! 7)gas is expensive.

i think i've listed enough reasons. ^^;; remind me of them if i ever bring up the topic. doumo!

Tuesday, April 17, 2001 03:40 p.m.
bwahaha~ got back from school around 2:30ish with heidi and we had ramen and talked for the first time in a loooong time! XD happy~ for some reason, i got really giddy, too. i was running around places and acting "cutesy" as heidi put it. >_< che! but anyway~

i got the pics from saturday~ XD kaijuu, i got your portion, too~ i'll be dropping it off at your house sometime hopefully this week, along with manga and videos. lots of them. ;_; omae no "neutral" hoshii zo. and guess what? there are little purikula that come with the pics~ XD it's only of one shot, though. gaki, i'll be dropping off your asuka, ccs memorial book, wallet, and ax videos off at your house hopefully sometime this week as well~ anything else you need/want? mebe i'll drop that off too~ ^_^

AH! thas right!! my dad said he'd take me car-shopping on sunday!!! XD XD XD XD heads up, people!! mirae's getting her own car!!! ;_; shiawaseeeee.....i hope we can go in the morning! XD XD XD i was flipping through some car sites last night, and i found that i like the CorollaS the most~ ^_^ i will hopefully be getting that car in BLACK! GYAHAHAHA!! ok... calm....

hmm... swamped with hw tonight, too~ but i'm not stressin! ^_^ thank god for those assignments that aren't checked! =D ::pu:: other than that, i don't think there's anything to report~ ^_^

dude, this CAN'T be healthy!! i'm sitting here eating food as if it were nothing! for those of you who have had ramen at my house, you know those black bowls that i serve them in, right? i had one of those full to the brim with soup and rice in it, and then i had more rice with a piece of tonkatsu (pork cutlet) that was bigger than my hand, and i ate it all.........

and i'm not full yet.

this could be a problem...;; and if it keeps up, i'm gunna have discipline myself with the "d" word!! NOOOOO!!! >_<

Monday, April 16, 2001 04:18 p.m.
oh, forgot to mention that i have a chem project to do and i have a week to research fission bombs. then i have to present it on powerpoint, which i need to figure out how to use by thursday night... presentations are due next next week... ::siiiigh::

Monday, April 16, 2001 04:17 p.m.
today was the first day of school after spring break. how was my day? it was ok. there was a sub in history, which made the period better. but then there's that math test that made me wanna puke, and i think my grade in japanese is dropping cuz i haven't been doing my hw recently and i just did really bad on this fat kanji test we had the week before break. i have a rough draft for a huge paper due tomorrow, and i haven't even started it. but i'm understanding what's going on in chem (for now), and math isn't too hard... i have 2 weeks before the end of the grading period to keep my grade up in history and chem...

other than the depressing topic of school... ....... . . ..... uhhh...... what's there to talk about...? let's see.... oh, i stayed up till about 4 this morning and running off 4 hours of sleep, but that's no big deal. i didn't fall asleep in any of my classes and i'm not all that tired~ it was easier for me to get up this morning than i thought it would be. ^_^ tehe~ so yeah, thas what's been going on so far. i should start my hw soon... it's almost 4:20.. i think i'll start at 4:30.

Sunday, April 15, 2001 09:14 p.m.
yaho~ today was a pretty good day. after i woke up, i signed on and had ramen, soup with rice, and this korean stew type stuff, plus pudding. ^^;;; i was kinda full after that.

my dad came home in the early afternoon, and i remembered that today's my brother's bday. so i asked my dad if i could take his car out to get his present at mitsuwa. he's like "... how many times am i driving around today..?" =_=;;; so i'm like "... i DO have my license now..." so he let me go by myself in his car! XD it made spending money on my brother that much more enjoyable~ but finding parking at that place was just a PAIN! O_O i had to circle around the lot twice before i found a spot. >_< i bought my brother a dragonballz shirt and got some 0.3 lead for myself. then drove the sweet solitude drive home~ ^_^ there was an ambulance behind me, and i'm like "ok... time to pull over to the right... wait a sec... i'm already on the right lane... ok. stop." ^_^ tehe~ and the rest of the ride home was open windows with loud music~ XD niiiice~~

i got home, wrapped the present, and sat around for a few hours. i wandered around outside since it was such boooootiful weather today, and groomed my dogs~ ^_^ they had just a look of peace, i'm like... they could die happy right about now...;;; tehe~ i gave my brother his present a little bit before we left for dinnner. he likes. ^_^

on our way to dinner, i got to drive and my brother got to sit in the front seat! XD for some reason that made it more fun to drive~ my parents sat in the back and i could hear them talking about how spacey the back of his car is and they were talking about other cars. =_=;; my mom kept nagging about how i don't turn my head around before i switch lanes, WHEN I DO, and it was getting on my nerves. =_= che, if she doesn't like the way i drive, she can WALK. dinner itself was pretty fun. we were sitting with 2 other couples, and one of them were in their early 20s. the girl just didn't know how to shut up. =_=; i felt bad for the cook cuz he stopped trying to make a show when he saw that the other half of the table wasn't paying attention to him. after dinner, we went to fantasia and my dad bought me and my brother a drink, which i'm happily sipping at the moment~ ^_^

so yes, that was my day~ and for the rest of the night, i plan on relaxing and sleeping early so i can get up to go to school tomorrow~ ^_^ tehe~ <3

Sunday, April 15, 2001 11:14 a.m.
...man.... i thought i'd finally get a good night's sleep since i went to bed early. =_=; che. someone up there really doesn't like me or something. i woke up at 4 in the morning cuz my legs hurt like hell, and i don't even know why. it didn't stop hurting till like... 4:30 or something. it wasn't leg cramps, but that feeling when it's really cold and it gets to your legs and they start getting painfully numb... only my legs wern't cold! ;_; and i could still feel! ::hauuuu:: when i woke up again, it was 8:30 or something like that, and my brother and his friend was so friggin loud!! they didn't even close the door and they were yelling and rough housing and it was REALLY ANNOYING! ...=_=.... bad morning... my stomach feels so heavy it's starting to hurt. ::sigh:: ._.

Saturday, April 14, 2001 09:33 p.m.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!! i was supposed to wake up at 9 this morning but for some reason the alarm didn't go off..... then kaijuu called and woke me up, thank god! >_< i rushed to wash up and get my hair done. irene got here, and then heidi and steph~ ugh, my hair took 30 minutes to do! it wasn't making me happy =_=; but thas ok~ i got it eventually, and then we left to take pics~ pictures were fun! XD but the result wasn't all that great for me. i'm sooooooo not photogenic!! >_< everyone else is! heidi, irene, and kaijuu all came out perfectly in theirs! >_< hauuuuuu, envy envy envy... so yeah, irene sped me and kaijuu back to my house, since i had to leave at 1 to go to golfland. we were late. but thas ok, cuz kevin wasn't there to pick us up, yet.

like... a minute after i got home, kevin came, and then we set off~ we played in the arcade for a few hours, played minigolf, and got really pissed off at the indian kids that were behind us cuz they kept playing while we were still playing. yes, the same hole. while the last person was still going, the kid would start, and that got in the way of our game. the parents didn't even do anything till jack said something for what.. the 2nd or 3rd time. =_=;; then we all went back into the arcade and played more games~ ^_^

around 7:30ish, we went outside to wait for kevin's mom to pick him and me up. kevin, kevin, pekkle, jack, and i all had a nice interesting chat about random things. heh ^^;; yes, interesting.... i dun think jack wants to talk to kevin ever again >_<;;; as for kevin.. i dunno about him, but he think's it's funny to piss jack off, which i don't think it is. =_= idiot, you dunno what you're getting yourself into. oh yeah, connie just kinda decided to call last minute and say that she couldn't go. that idiot. so yeah.. today was a pretty good day~ ^_^ should do it again, sometime~

Friday, April 13, 2001 09:32 p.m.
ok, today wasn't all the eventful, but connie came over and we worked on her costume for a little bit. i didn't want to break out the pins and needles, so we didn't get anything other than cutting done, and some planning for it, too. ^_^ we played some games, and then talked. it was cool~

and tomorrow's the big busy day of the week! XD i gotta get up at 9AM to go take pics with heidi, irene, and kaijuu, and then right after that, i'm going to gaki's house to go to golfland! gah! busy busy busy.. O_O oh crap! i don't think i even told my parents that i'm going to take pictures tomorrow morning!! bad! BAD! but thas ok, i guess. i'll just tell them that i'm going out for a little bit with heidi and steph, and then we'll be back by 11, ne~ ^^ i should prolly do my hair like i did yesterday. ^_^ tehe~

other than that stuff going on, there isn't much else to talk about. i have hw that i need to do, but i guess i'll do that sunday night. oh yeah, i think connie's gunna come over on sunday to work on her costume more. ^^;; oh boy.. seeing a lot of her this week. not that it's a bad thing~ and in about half an hour, i'm gunna go take a shower~ i hope my hair doesn't piss me off in the morning. =_= that would really suck...

Thursday, April 12, 2001 09:29 p.m.
tehe~ today was a good day~ i went to paula's house and watched a movie, played with her rabbit and played video games. ^_^ it was fun~ i came home around 6 and played dead or alive2 all day~ ^_^ had some curry and now i'm online~ my cousin came back from my aunt's house, so we played games together... she lost miserably...;; must train her to become better! >_< ok...

anyway~ tomorrow's friday, so connie'll be coming over from 1-6 working on her costume. after that, i think i'll draw. or play video games. ^^;; saturday i'm going to golfland, so i'll be out the whole day, and sunday, i should do my hw. >_<;; i hate chem... we have to give a powerpoint presentation on a nuclear weapon that was assigned to us. ::siiiiigh:: fingers.. sore... too much... video game... ;;;

Thursday, April 12, 2001 12:38 p.m.
morning. woke up at 11, took a shower, and before i knew it, my grandma, aunt, and cousin were gone. o_o;; that was fast... i think they were plotting to leave while i was in the shower >_< mebe not. a phone call came earlier and thas when the house got a little noisy with people walking around and talking and stuff... cousin told me yesterday that my uncle's mom might die soon, so if he calls, then my aunt and cousin gotta leave to go see him. ._.

tonikaku.. i dun like talking about that kinda stuff, so we'll move on~ let's seeee... kevin just invited me to go to his friend's house, so i'm gunna be going over there at around 1 till... who knows when... i'm hoping i'll be back by evening. renting movies and watching them at someone's house can only be so fun for so long, you know? ^^;;

oh yeah, last night i was playing with my hair and it ended up being the buns-with-a-braid-trailing-from-it style. i like it, but i dunno if it's "me". then i napped from 1am till 4am. ^_^ gaki asked me to be there at 4 which is when she finished studying math. i think the alarm was going off for abut 2 minutes before it woke me up, though.. o_O;; thas bad... =D oh yeah, and i got money too! from my grandma and aunt! XD belated bday money!! ::sigh of happiness::

WAAAAIIIII!!! kevin just told me he would lend me his dreamcast and dead or alive2 game!!! XD XD XD i'm gunna have FUN for the rest of my vacation, BABYYYY!! ^_^ i'm ok~ really i am~

lasagne's good.

Wednesday, April 11, 2001 05:25 p.m.
sushi for lunch is a wonderful thing. ^_^ i went to lunch today with connie and it was fun~ we had sushi at the sushiboat at westgate, and walked around the mall a lot looking for fabric so she could cosplay. ^_^ she's gunna go as sakura from street fighter... though her hair's kinda long.. ^^;;; dunno what she's gunna do about it. but yeah, i gotta help her with her costume since she's never made one before. ^_^ school uniforms aren't that hard, so it's all good~ tehe~ we went to burlington coat factory and i tried on a bathing suit just for kicks. >_< i'm DEFINITELY sticking to one-pieces!! ick!

when i got picked up from the mall, my cousin was sitting in the car. o_O;;; i didn't know she was coming. that meant my aunt was already here. so when i got home, my aunt had me wear my nakuru costume for her..;; ah well, thas ok. she's cool~ tehe~

so yes, the golfland plans have been moved to saturday since gaki can't make it on friday after school cuz she has alter service to do. and kevin also has a meet at his church that he can't miss anymore. heh..; thas ok~ more time at the arcade for us! XD and then after that, gaki and kaijuu have break~ =_= while i go back to school. it evens out, i guess.

ugh... mom's nagging at me to be with my cousin. che.

Wednesday, April 11, 2001 04:57a.m.
::funyaaaaaa:: i've been talking with gaki for nearly 2 hours now, and it's making me happy~ ^_^ we were talking about/planning our college life. mostly the spending aspect of life, but thas ok~ we'll get more accurate guesses after a bit of research. ^_^ talking about it really woke me up, though, cuz i like talking about this~ tehe~ must.. not... spaz... >_< thas what parents are for! college tuition for at least the first couple years! PARENTS!!!!

oh yeah, made a new sketch. it's gunna be one of my ax drawings. i gotta majorly fix it up, though...
haruka and michiru from sailormoon

Tuesday, April 10, 2001 08:00 p.m.
=_= ::fuuu:: cleaned room and rearranged it the whole day. man, i totally forgot how much work it is to disconnect wires and put them back together. ah well... it wasn't that hard. i seem to have more space in my room now. either that or it's just my imagination. so now my bed's on the left side of the room, and the desk is on the right side. bookshelf is in between. >_< if you can't picture it, you gotta come over. i wonder why it took me so long to move everything...? i think it's cuz i was watching the video i played to keep me company. ^^; ow~* my legs are still sore...; thankfully, going down the stairs hurt more than pushing my bed and i only went up and down twice. aaa, clean room... too bad it won't stay that way for long.

i'm hungry...

Tuesday, April 10, 2001 01:28 p.m.
okke~ just had lunch and now i'm gunna clean my room up so i can move things around more easily. ^_^ tehe, today is the day i rearrange my room~ so yes, gotta call connie, make plans for tomorrow, and then work work work!! >_< it's not helping that my legs are so sore from yesterday, though..;;; ah well, thas ok!

so yeah, i was to go out shopping and play ddr and go ice-skating and everything... GAH!! >_< too much!! too much!! ice skating REALLY hurts your feet if you haven't gone in years. and then i was forced to play ddr right after that!! ;_; my poor feet.. and since i didn't have a THING to eat the whole day, i'm kinda sitting here dying of starvation while the rice is being made. >_< garururururu.... kevin bought me pearl milk tea, but thas not really what i would call food..;;;

Monday, April 9, 2001 12:18 p.m.

::fuaaaa:: i was supposed to be napping the past few hours, but i ended up getting caught up in something. ^^;; tehe... mamo-chan took me to safeway earlier today, and i got 2 containers of juice and 2 packages of pudding. XD yay! my craving for pudding has been fulfilled for a few days. my brother better not touch my juice and pudding! if he does, i will be very unhappy! >_< ::stomach growls:: ... i'm hungry... i want food but grandma's sleeping downstairs... this means if i want soup, i gotta heat it up by stove, and that'll take a while... i think i'll just have rice with seaweed again. tehe, practically no calories, so i dun have to worry about gaining too much weight. >_<

=_= nyoo... can't wait till tomorrow ends. this weekend'll be pretty relaxing, since i can't go anywhere cuz i gotta take care of baa-sama while my parents are in new york. mom said not to have people over, but i wonder if i can really go a whole weekend without seeing gaki or kaijuu or jack? o_O;; it's been pretty much routine to see at least 1 of them at least once a weekend since... che, since who-knows-when... but yeah... i went to gaki's house today to eat the bento kaijuu made... i didn't know we were gunna make sushi, too...;;; so yeah.. we made sushi. lots of it. gaki estimated around 300 pieces. heh... lots... had dinner while making it~ ^_^ and made jack eat fruit! XD XD XD pear and orange~ XD so yeah, while we were doing all this, kaijuu and gaki decided that there wouldn't be enough time to go to starbucks to turn in job apps, so i'm like "... i'm screwed..." cuz i thought if they went to starbucks, i'd just be able to walk home since it's so close.

::weh:: well, they didn't go, and when jack's mom wasn't able to drop me off, i called my mom as a last resort. ^^:;; she wasn't too happy about it.. and in the car, she got pissed at me cuz she thinks i lied about not knowing about making sushi and just cuz i went to gaki's house on a weekday, she yelled at me about going to college. wth?! where the hell did college come from?! so yeah, that kinda got to me, but i didn't care anymore. mom can go screw herself. she says she hates giving me rides places, yet, she won't lemme get a car. isn't that stupidly ironic? and when we're almost home, THEN she starts being all nice cuz she wants to borrow money from me to pay for milk cuz she forgot to buy it. feh...

"wo butzu tao chinese" =_=;

hi. got. my. license. today. HAPPY DAY!! XD XD XD

okke, stayed up ALLLLLLLLLL night/morning with gaki, except my will bent to my desire to sleep and i ended up getting 2 hours of sleep this morning. i was falling asleep at the keyboard, and i was dozing about those entrance gates in "imadoki", and how they have those electronic attendance things where the students stick in their ID card into a slot and they get in. so yeah, i was thinking of that for some reason, and i somehow... kinda... typed it to gaki....;;; i'm like "what if i can't reg by tomorrow?" and she was really confused and thought i was talking about ax prereg. ^^;; no, gaki... actually, i wasn't even fully conscious when i was typing that..;;; in fact. i looked at the time stamps on the IMs, and i realized that the convo we had in a timespan of 20 mins... i couldn't remember ANYTHING about typing it up or even thinking about it. o_O;; i couldn't take it anymore and i went to sleep around 6-6:30ish.

audrey then called around 8 to do our japanese project, and i rushed to school. anthony ended up not being there, and i got irritated cuz i coulda SLEPT! >_< so i _tried_ to sleep in the library during 1st, but for some reason, i couldn't. and the day was loooooong... i think i fell asleep in just about all of my classes. and tomorrow i have a presentation to do... >_< this is when i hate japanese...

after school, i went to the DMV to take my drivers test.

i passed.

yes, babyyy!!! XD XD XD i can drive now! by myself! oh, freedom!!! this means this weekend i get to go out and be FREEEEEE!!! oh yeah... my grandma's coming over on wed and staying till sun, and i gotta take care of her.. ;_; thas ok! i'll go out when my aunt's here to take care of grandma~ if i can't go out, PEOPLE CAN COME OVER! XD i think i'm a bit too energetic for someone whose had only 2 hours of sleep...;;; ::siiiigh:: i gotta go to school at 7:30 tomorrowwwwwww.... ;_; iyadaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

i'm hungry... is there any food around? lalala~~ ::hops off to find food::

well. yesterday... actually, friday morning, i woke up at 7, went to school, came back, and started working on my costume. gaki, kaijuu, kenji, kevin, and jack all came over for a while and i made practically 0 progress on my costume that day, when i should have made a LOT. gaki got her staff made, kaijuu got her emblem sewed, kenji got sat studying done (sorta), and kevin made progress, while jack was going crazy looking for trance music on my computer when i don't have any. =_= so yeah, while gaki and i were working on painting her staff in the backyard and we shot some hoops while the paint was drying and we could hear the escaflowne "dance of the curse II" playing in my room through the window and then kaijuu and jack told us about the lyrics they made for the song about how jack's so great and kenji's a woman...;;; it was pretty funny, though. ^^;; weeeeeeird night.

everyone left after around 10-11ish and i stayed up. all night. i worked and worked on my costume, and surprisingly, only 1 cup of coffee lasted me the whole night. late morning came, and i had finished everything except the buttons. i rushed like mad to get the holes for the buttons hemmed so they wouldn't fray like crazy. kevin finally came and i piled into the van which already had kaijuu and gaki in it, and i helped gaki get her cape back on. she really liked how i pinned it the day before, but i couldn't remember how it was done, and she was getting really frustrated. ^^;; gaki, it's just a cape... it looked fine.;; we picked up jack and pekkle and off we headed to fanime.

got out of van.
fixed costumes up a bit more.
walk to get registrated.

"KYAAAAA!!! OH MY GOD, I _HAVE_ TO TAKE YOUR PICTURE!!"
"OH MY GOD, CAN I TAKE YOUR PICTURE?!"
"YOUR COSTUMES ARE SOOOOO GOOD!! COULD I PLEEEEEASE TAKE YOUR PICTURE?!"
"LOOK! LOOK! IT'S ERIOL! AND TOMOYO! AND NAKURU AND YUKITO!! I HAVE TO TAKE A PICTURE!!"
"ERIOL!! IT'S ERIOL!!"

O_O;;...we hadn't even gotta registrated yet...;;; we had to tell them we hadn't gotten registrated yet, and that we would be back... some of them were persistent and took our pics anyway..;;; i have a feeling we were crowding the door... so yes. interesting morning. we got registrated and went to the lobby and met wayne along the way. he told us to go to the theatre so we could get stuff for the masquerade done. nothing happened. we sat there and there was a neptune sitting in the other seat with a sailormoon and another character i dun remember who, and we couldn't tell if the neptune was a girl or not. he/she had girly legs, but.... no chest and DEFINITLY not the face of a girl... scary... anyway. so yeah, we had our picture taken who-knows-how-many-times, and blinded by who-knows-how-many cameras, and saw lots of pretty little dots blocking our vision. it went on like that all day and all night. later on, we went to the ddr room and went through a lot to keep gaki's stalker from finding her. i think he did. but he didn't do anything like follow us around or anything. =_= thank god. kenji and kathy showed up, too.

gaki, kaijuu, kevin, pekkle, kenji, henry, and i all had dinner at taco bell. gaki and henry went to togos, and brought their food to tacos... after, we rehearsed our skit in the hallway of the hotel. those hallways are BUSY, man!! after so many times practicing, i still couldn't get the timing right on when to pick up the cards. =_= it was nerve-wracking, and i messed up the timing on the performance, too. joy. GAH! before the show when we tried to get into the theatre, the people there were friggin annoying about gaki's staff. they were pincing it and everything to see how soft it was. and jack wouldn't be let in cuz he wasn't wearing/holding anything that appeared to be cosplay. pekkle was let in cuz he was holding gaki's staff, and i have no idea how kathy's sister got in. i went out to look for jack a while later, but we found out after the show that he went out to get pizza the same time i went out to look for him. =_= ::sigh::

the masquerade SUCKED! there were SOOOOO many people there and we were all crowded into the backstage rooms and it was hot and stuffy and they were showing us what was going on on the stage in one room but the sound sucked so bad you couldn't understand A THING and it was really crowded and everyone who was in the masquerade was stuck back there for 4-5 hours! it was boring, too! =_= it was a looong night. you have NO idea how much being bored can tire you out. awards and such were presented after the show, and... jack came into the theatre. he wasn't happy. =_= i dun blame him.

we all tried to get back to wayne's hotel room to get the rest of our stuff, and we got.. caught up. people in front of the theatre took our pictures for a looong time, and then we went home. i got home at around 1:30ish, when i told my mom i'd be home by 11... ^^;;; whoops... my bad. so yeah, i trudged into my room, turned on the comp, turned on music, went online, checked email, turned off comp, washed face, brushed teeth (doing all this pretty much asleep), trudged back into room, stripped, and passed out. i dun think 'beautiful alone' was even playing for 10 seconds before i passed out. the only part i remember is "anata to boku to no..." thas it. o_O;; i'm surprised i even remember that part.

i had to wake up at 7am to take omi-kun to my school by 7:30 so he could ride the bus to catch his plane. the alarm went off at 7. hand pops out. hand searches all over clock. looks for either snooze button or volume button. clock falls off bed headboard. hand looks longer for the snooze button, and before it's found, akuma falls asleep. a knock is heard on the door. akuma wakes up to find her right hand outstretched, and there's a clock sitting on it. upside-down. the alarm gets turned off, and there's another knock on the door.
"haaii..................." <--- still half sleeping.
looks at clock. 7:15am. CRAP!!! blankets go flying while i get dressed and wash up to take omi-kun to school. thank god i set the clock forward the night before. we made it on time, and said our goodbyes to each other and other homestay students, and then i came back home. on the way home:
mom: why were you so late last night??
me: (thinking: oh crap, she's pissed) ... here goes.. ok, we were in the masquerade show, and instead of ending at 10 like we thought it would, it ended at 11. then we were stuck in the hallway for about 45 minutes cuz people were taking our pictures. then we had to drop off about 5 other people before i could get home. i was like... second to last to get dropped off. thas why." (of course, i was exaggerating in some aspects ^^;;;)
mom: ....oh...
we got home, and i trudged back to my room, stripped, and passed out again. this time, i don't think forever love even got to the vocal part. =_= yes, i was one tired little nakuru. when 3pm rolled around, i rolled around in my bed and woke up. called kaijuu, who had also evidently, just woken up.

yes, this weekend was just loooooong. fanime was terrible. there weren't as many people taking pictures as i'd hoped (although there were still a lot of people doing so), there weren't as many cosplayers as i'd hoped (lots of those, too), there weren't as many people there as i'd hoped, the masquerade experience just sucked (although performing it was pretty cool), you couldn't go shopping cuz they would only let in a certain amount of people at once, there was only 1 ddr machine, and i was TIRED!! i survived from 7am friday till 1:30am sunday, on one. cup. of. coffee. >_< man, i love that stuff! i wonder if i could do that for school, too? ~_~ ::sigh:: loooong weekend.. imagine AX if fanime had THAT many cameras going off... o_O;; i hope i can save my eyesight...
